Answer

The 900 Theses were not accepted by the Church because they contained ideas that were considered heretical by the Catholic Church. Pico della Mirandola's theses included the idea that there are many paths to salvation, and that all religions should be tolerated. This was seen as a threat to the authority of the Catholic Church, which claimed to be the only path to salvation.
